"A Lot of Trouble" is just a plot contrived for the sole purpose of giving a reason to execute a
Marlo color change. Likewise, "Applause" is a contrived plot that leads up to a top change.
Disappointing.

Hare Raising is the one effect that's really worth it. I especially liked
the explanation of the gaffed card used in one of the forces. That was something I hadn't seen
before.

This is a good buy. The tricks are fairly easy and they pack a good punch. I did Thumbstruck today
at work and people flipped out. The only downside is, Josh doesn't explain every slight, so you need
to already have a basic knowledge in card magic before getting this. But all in all, a great
purchase.

READ THIS!

Every trick in here is great. Its all practical material that you will probably
use most of. All of its great for walk around, some even suitable for stage. What's great is they
are all fun, entertaining routines. I was smiling watching them, they were just so entertaining. If
you haven't seen the demos, watch them, you will see what I mean. What's more is they are not just
very fun tricks, but also have that wow factor; they are lots of fun to watch for a spectator, but
still finish amazing. Some things you are going to need to get though.

For thumb struck you
need ace bandage for the hilarious(and amazing) thumb gag. You probably have some at home.

For Strings Attached you need a mirror sticker, and some fishing line thread. Again, you
probably have some already.

For Hare Raiser you need a lucky rabbits foot (better to make
because you need to be able to be able to get a card in it)

And finally for waltzing cheek
to cheek you need a cheek to cheek deck.

All of that is about or less.

So to buy
this and get some stuff its about 30$ , BUT you get eight, not one, not two, but EIGHT practical
tricks that you will do.

This was a great purchase for me!

So if you don't want 8
amazing tricks you will do for a great price stay away!
if not add to cart!!!! no seriously do
it now. Stop reading my review and do it!

The price is a grate deal but some of the tricks are not for everyone i personally only used 2 of
the tricks. and he dose not tell u the how he dose the some of the movies instead he tells u the tip
of movie, so this is not for beginners. the only resin why i give it 4 stars instead of 3 is because
of the price.

I paid the promo price for this and am highly satisfied. This is top quality material.

I
should point out too, I'm a beginner/hobbyist and don't have any problem. Sure, it does require
prerequisite knowledge of some standard moves here and there, but nothing that isn't already covered
in any decent beginners guide to cards.

I was hesitant to get this because I knew how one or two of the tricks were done right when i saw
it. But because they didn't show all the tricks/smart btw, i wasn't sure the total impact of these
tricks. Let me say one of these will go IMMEDIATELY into my walk around routine, and its easy to
learn within 10 minutes because the moves are so easy to do and basically everyone has been doing
them since they started magic, but Joshua Jay does something i have a hard time finding other
places, he puts interesting patter for the younger generation that isn't lame or just wouldn't fit a
25 year old doing magic, Top Notch material, yes there are just some things in this i wouldn't ever
use, but others were so good that one trick is worth $ 30 dollars for sure, Thanks for everything
Joshua, You deserve everything you get in life, because you really take the time to make compelling
tricks.
